The United Kingdom has been recently
getting quite the heat because of its plans to exit from the European Union
which it has belonged to for years. With this big move means that there would
be big changes in the country. One of the top issues would be the lessening of
the amount of immigrants that the country would be having since there would be
no free movement between the UK and other member nations of the European Union.
With that, this would mean that businesses and companies would need more
immigrants to do the work that needs to be done.

On this potential issue, almost half of the
total employers in the country are looking at giving a thumbs up for a new
immigration system that would cover the whole country. It should be based on
the shortage on skills and on the needed labor that the country needs. This is
very essential as it would help give an answer to the lack of skills and labor
that the country would be facing with the exit looming. This data is as per a
report that the Adecco Group as well as the Chartered Institute of Personnel
and Development have recently published.

The
details in the report

It is known as the Labour Market Outlook.
And this report took over 2,000 employers in the whole of Britain who took part
in the survey. This is where the data came from. As per the study, it showed
that that 13% of the lot were favorable for a policy that was based on sectors.
There were also 5% of those that were part of the survey that were all for a
policy that was based on regions. But the main thing to keep in mind here is
that the employers are all for an immigration policy that would bring in the
needed immigrants.

When asked, the employers had shared that
they are all opting for a program that would help with the shortage on skills
and labor that is starting to be felt in the country. Currently, the country
has had quite some difficulty with finding applicants in the local place. There
are a lot of jobs that need to be done and there are not enough individuals to
do these.

What
the employers need

According to Gerwyn Davis, the current
immigration system is all about finding the best people and the brightest
individuals. However, it is not all about that. Employers are looking for
individuals who can do the jobs and most of these jobs do not necessarily need
the best or the brightest for these to be done. This is also making finding the
right immigrants quite a longer process.

Not a lot of countries are open to
immigrants as Canada is. This country in North America does not look at the
race of a person or the country that he or she is from. In fact, it accepts
individuals from just about any country as long as the individual passes the
requirements. And in a recent statement, the country’s Prime Minister, Justin
Trudeau, has mentioned that despite the differences in the people in the
country, this is actually a good source of strength.

Trudeau has also mentioned that the country
is not only to immigration but it is also quite open to trade. In a recent
engagement, he mentioned that there is a huge potential in trade if there is a
more open connection between the country and India. This trade can potentially
grow to $8 billion just for trade of goods. It could also grow up to $2 billion
for services. These are two things that the country is open to and many
countries should be able to take advantage of this chance to have a good
connection with this really strong and powerful country.

The
visit to India

The Prime Minister, along with his wife and
three kids, paid a visit to India and paid tribute to the famous Mahatma
Gandhi. Trudeau has been very inspired and quite impressed by the country. He
believes that it shows truth, humanity and peace. It is a beautiful place, as
Trudeau has mentioned. He continued to state that there are already connections
between his country and India and these connections can be further improved so
that growth will happen.

He also continued to disclose that in the
case of immigration, Canada is moving towards bringing in the needed
immigrants. Most countries are opting for the individuals that are like them
but in Canada, it is the diversity that brings in the strength of the country.
For many, diversity is a weakness but Canada believes that it is a strength and
it definitely shows well.

Trudeau mentioned that his government is
open to immigrants. They are investing in keeping the immigrants well and
adjusted in the country so that they would later on become individuals who are
more than able to contribute to the economy of Canada.

The
Gandhi inspiration on immigration

Trudeau has shown that Gandhi has inspired
him on how he has been running the country. He believes in trusting other
people and being firm in fundamental ideas and principles. With the changes in
the world, this kind of approach is more than necessary as it was years before.
This kind of belief shows just how the country looks at immigration and how
well this is doing good for Canada so far. It is not all about having the same
kind of people in the country but it is about knowing how to trust people and
having the right principles.

For some, the apocalypse is something that
can really happen. Though not all agree with this, those who do cannot help but
be prepared for it. After all, prevention is always better than the cure. With
that, these apocalypse believers are looking for new places to settle in. It
does not matter if they need to be immigrants – what matters is that they are
safe in case the apocalypse does happen. So here is the deal – these believers
have found New Zealand to be quite the place to be safe in when the apocalypse
becomes real. And becoming an immigrant in New Zealand is definitely at the top
of these believers’ list.

Some of the top business people and
billionaires who may currently be living in Silicon Valley think that the
apocalypse may become real and so they have made use of their resources to find
the best spot to be safe in. Yes, New Zealand is on top of the list and the
preparations have started. Working on the documents needed to be an immigrant
is one and acquiring homes in the country is another.

The
PayPal guru believes in New Zealand

The person behind the creation of PayPal
believes in New Zealand as a haven when the apocalypse happens. Peter Thiel,
the PayPal guru, has just recently acquired a piece of land that measures 193
hectares. This was priced at around $13.5 million and would definitely be a
piece of prime real estate. It can be found somewhere near Lake Wanaka, which
is one of the best spots in New Zealand. Though there is nothing to live in
there at present (unless the barn that is currently standing there is an
option), Thiel definitely is working on it so that when he does become an
immigrant, he can live there comfortably and safely.

Plans have been revealed and it was
released that a panic room may be just what Thiel is working on. Being an
immigrant is nothing that he need not worry too much about right now as he has
already been given citizenship in the country. So this means that anytime he
wishes to go to the country and live there, that can be easily done.

Why
is New Zealand an immigrant magnet?

In a recent study that was done, aside from
being a haven for the apocalypse, the country also is an immigrant magnet
because the government is quite not that strict. The place also offers a
work/life balance that is unlike any other place. Water is not hard to come by.
It has also proven to be one of those countries where the air is definitely
clean. It definitely is not hard for potential immigrants to choose New Zealand
over any other country that is on the globe.

The United Kingdom has been home to quite a
huge number of immigrants through the years. And it is still one of the most
popular as it offers a variety of options for people to entertain themselves
with when they are living there. Aside from that, the country’s economy is also
quite strong and that is what makes a lot of immigrants choose this country
over any other one in the world.

Aside from these reasons that have been
mentioned above, what else brings immigrants to Britain? Well, here are some of
them.

Reason
#1: Boredom is never an option.

Immigrants in the country cannot say that
they can be bored. See, the country has a lot of things to offer and so boredom
is never an option. There are plenty of things to do and explore. Think of
London, for example. This city is just like New York in the sense that it never
seems to go to sleep. While other cities in the world go to sleep when the moon
is high and nigh, that does not seem to happen to London. That is why
immigrants can go to London if they feel like wanting to experience the night
life that this place offers.

Aside from that, the United Kingdom is home
to a ton of places to explore. There are a lot of museums that one can easily
get into and learn more about the place. Restaurants are everywhere as well and
so it is a home for those who are food fanatics. There are festivals like music
festivals to attend. The place has just tons of things to offer immigrants and
locals.

Reason
#2: The thing for brunch.

The weekend can make a lot of people stay
up late and thus wake up late. So this calls for a super late breakfast and an
early lunch and that equals brunch. A lot of places offer brunch and this makes
quite a huge amount of individuals in the United Kingdom quite happy. After
all, breakfast and lunch put together definitely makes for good meals.

What immigrants have to try for brunch in
the UK can include French toast with bacon, bacon milk rolls, full English
shakshuka, smoked ham with pancakes, smoothie bowls, cardamom bread, eggs
Benedict with waffles, and a whole lot more!

Reason
#3: Literary greats are born and made here.

For those who have a flair for reading and
for literary greats, the United Kingdom definitely is the best place to go. It
has been home for plenty of the greatest writers that include Charles Dickens,
William Shakespeare, Sir Geoffrey Chaucer, and Sylvia Plath. There are
libraries to explore and awesome history of literature to learn about. And yes,
Harry Potter was also conceived here so definitely a great place to be in.

While other countries in the world are
doing their best to lessen the amount of immigrants that is coming to their
soil, this is definitely not the case for Canada. See, this country is keen on
making sure that more immigrants are making their way to them as long as these
immigrants pass the requirements that they have already set. The country has
been open to immigrants and it is known as one of the countries in the world
where discrimination on immigrants do not necessarily exist. That is why many
individuals are trying their best to make sure that they are able to pass the
requirements and go through the process to become an immigrant in Canada.

As of recent, Ahmed Hussen, the Immigration
Minister of the country, has stated that the government has already plans on
making sure that immigration goes up for Canada. Hussen has also continued that
their current plans are working just fine and they are also pushing for $440
million in budget to be used to make sure that all plans of increasing the
number of immigrants in the country become reality. This is definitely good
news for all of those who are working their best to be an immigrant there.

The
current status of immigration

Hussen has continued with an update on the
current status of immigration in Canada. He mentioned that in November of last
year, the country has decided to not push through with the immigration plans
for one year so that they could be able to focus on an immigration plan that
would be put in place for three years. This plan started this year, 2018, and
would be ending by 2020. This plan is all about making sure that there is a
steady increase when it comes to the number of immigrants entering the country
and this increase would have to happen during that timeframe.

The target number of immigrants for 2018
would be 310,000 individuals and the government is planning on making sure that
by the year 2020, the number would reach 340,000. Hussen has disclosed that
this is a representation of the highest number of admitted immigrants to Canada
in over a hundred years. It also is going to bring in the highest rate of
immigrants in over 40 years if the plan definitely pushes through.

The
benefits to Canada

The Immigration Minister has continued to
state that with the growth, 60% of it will be quite helpful in boosting the
immigration programs that the country has through economy. Through the given
period, the skilled individuals in the country would increase because they
would be selecting them through the Express Entry system that they have already
got in place.

The number of immigrants moving to New Zealand has risen in the recent years. There was even a period when the numbers
just kept on going up and up until it has reached a plateau. Despite that, the
numbers have remained just about the same. This simply means that there are a
lot of people choosing to go to New Zealand and build a new life there.

So what reasons are these exactly? And what
makes New Zealand one of the best countries to move to?

Reason
#1: The country is very laidback.

Most people who have lived really busy
lives and wanting to get really good pay would make their way to big cities in
their country to work. But the hustle and bustle of the metro life can really
take its toll. That is why when they get tired of such a life, they would choose
to find their way to a place that is more laidback and still has the right
amount of opportunities for work.

New Zealand is such a country. The whole
setting is quite relaxed that stress can easily move away from one’s body. It
is also quite known around the world for its work/life balance type of culture.
There should always be a balance between work and living life. For those who
are looking for such a place, New Zealand definitely is the best country to
move to.

Reason
#2: The country is quite young.

People go to old countries for travel most
of the time. They look at beautiful and historic buildings and houses to learn
more about the place. If this is something that people want to be in as an
immigrant, New Zealand is definitely not that place. This is because NZ is
still pretty young. It has only been around for several decades as compared to
old countries in Europe which has gone through a lot and so they have a lot of
history to go around for everyone.

But for those people who are looking for
something youthful to revive the youth in them, New Zealand would be one of the
best countries. Immigrants are keen on seeing just how much more the country
can do and being a part of the growth of such a young country is making them
feel really proud and happy to be there.

Reason
#3: There is enough space for everyone.

New Zealand is large in terms of land area
and there are not a lot of people living in it. That is why it is said that
there is more than enough space for everyone who lives there. Of course, there
are a few areas here and there where the population can be more than all other
parts. But these are just a few and immigrants get to enjoy the rest of the
country that is not so crowded.

The United Kingdom is known as one of the
most popular choices for those individuals who are potential immigrants. These
people are looking for a new country to live in and the UK is definitely on top
of most lists. Soon, the country will be pushing forth with its plans to exit
the European Union and this will be bringing about a huge change in the country
and how it is currently running. One of the country’s business leaders has come
to send out a warning to the government that this move may actually bring about
some negative impact to the country and if nothing is done, the economy could
definitely be affected big time.

According to the chief of the British
Chambers of Commerce, in the near future, the United Kingdom just may have a
gap in the needed skills. A delay in the immigration policy just may also help
out in bringing new issues that could be bad for the country as businesses and
firms who need these immigrant workers would not be getting the help that they
need.

The
potential issues and crisis

The business leader of the BCC has
continued that companies and businesses in the country are starting to go
through a crisis with recruiting the right people to help them do the jobs
needed. There are already shortages in labor that is happening and this would
be even worse if nothing is done. Some industries are already going through
rough patches. That is why this leader is pushing the British government to
actually do something and do something fast. He is urging on Prime Minister
Theresa May to actually produce and send out details on what the new
immigration system would be after the exit happens.

Adam Marshall works as the general director
of the BCC and he has noted that businesses have seen a lack of potential
candidates for really important jobs that businesses need done. The government
has been given a warning that if the new immigration policy system would be
quite strict, these businesses would definitely not be doing well.

The
numbers and the story

The BCC has currently done surveys on the
matter. According to the data, almost 3/4 of businesses have been trying to
find candidates and recruit them but difficulties are being faced. This is
definitely a problem that the government should be facing and should be working
on.

With the kind of issue happening and could
be happening in the future, the UK government definitely may be cooking up
something soon to make sure that the businesses do not suffer and so do the UK
economy which is currently one of the strongest in the world at present.

The United States of America has recently
been reported to be pushing to have an immigration system that would be based
on merit and this new system that would be created should most likely be
patterned after the one that its neighbor, Canada, is currently using. Canada
has been known to have a good working immigration system that fits the
country’s needs and brings in the right people. This system has been known
worldwide and many countries are trying to emulate the same system to fit the
needs of their own.

Although there are countries that are
saying that the immigrants that should be coming to their soil would be from
affluent ones and not from those that are not really developed, Canada has data
that would surprise those who may believe in such. See, Canada has not been
focused on the country of origin of its immigrants but instead are focused on
bringing in the right people that would help them with just what it needs. This
is what the merit is based on and not really the country of origin. The country
of origin does not matter but the skills and background of the people do.

The
Canada way of immigration

For Canada, it is all about finding the
right people who would be able to help the country be just what it needs to be.
It can be in terms of labor or in terms of its need for new citizens to bring
about a younger population. While other countries are trying to do away with
potential immigrants who come from countries that have a low economy, Canada
does not. Those other countries believe that people from countries with a low
economy would only bring the country down because they will not be able to help
the country much and would only depend on the state for their everyday living.

However, this is not the case in Canada.
Canada welcomes all immigrants that pass the merit system and the whole process
and it does not matter what country a person is from. While some countries may
be shying away from low economy countries, Canada’s immigration data show that
it has been welcoming a significant amount of them as long as all requirements
are met. This definitely reflects that the country of origin is really not an
issue.

The
Canadian data

Looking at data on immigration in Canada,
one can definitely see that low economy countries are not an issue. The 2016
census in the country has reflected that in the previous five years, there were
two times more immigrants who have come from the Caribbean and Central America
as compared to immigrants from the United States. The data also showed that
immigrants were also more from Africa as compared to immigrants from the US and
Europe’s Northern and Western parts.

In New Zealand, the latest trends on
immigration as well as any latest issues on this will be put under the
microscope. This will happen during a conference that is held annually. This
conference is the Pathways conference and it is held annually by the Massey
University. Happening next week, those who would be attending the event will
definitely be learning more about trends in immigration as well as issues that
surround it. Aside from this, issues and trends in diversity in the country
should also be discussed.

Paul Spoonley works as a sociologist at the
university. He usually can be found making statements to the media regarding
immigration in New Zealand. Spoonley is one of the organizers of the event and
he also works as the spokesperson for it. On this event, he has stated that
this conference will definitely be a place for the commentators on immigration
should be found, as well as analysts of government policies and researches.
Among the topics that would be discussed should include leadership in religions,
communities of immigrants, and how newcomers to the country are getting the
welcome that they need.

The
exchange of information

Events like this definitely are a place for
exchanging information and views on immigration and diversity. According to
Spoonley, the people behind it are happy to have some of the best people to be
part of it. One of those would be Steve Vertovec, a professor as well as a
director for the Max Planck Institute. He is known to head the department on
religious diversity and ethnic diversity studies. He will be the headliner for
the conference next week. It was him who actually coined “super-diversity”
which actually refers to just how high diversity in populations have become
compared to previous years. During the conference, he will be discussing trends
that are happening.

Those who would be attending the conference
will be able to learn more about immigration trends and how it can affect a
country. It should be a good place for getting information especially if one is
interested in learning more about immigration and what immigrants have to go
through to get to the country that they wish to be a part of.

The
history of the conference

This annual conference came into being back
in the 1990s. It was put together to help with the analysis of data on research
that was done on immigration in the country and around the globe. Known as the
Pathways, Circuits and Crossroads conference, this helps tackle a lot of trends
and issues that can definitely affect a country. This year, the event will be
hosted by Capturing the Diversity Dividend of Aotearoa (also known as CaDDANZ)
group behind research and studies. The organizers are expecting around 200
individuals from various groups to be joining.

The agriculture industry and the food
industry are two very vital parts of any country. Without it, the whole country
would starve. Or, those who are living in the country would definitely have a
hard time purchasing the needed food as the country would have to import them,
thus resulting to high prices. This is definitely not good for any economy.
That is why agriculture spots are found in most countries as this is a very
basic necessity for people to thrive and survive.

In the case of the United Kingdom, a recent
report has shown that the country is definitely in need of a lot more immigrant
workers to help out with the work that the fields need. A study has shown that
the country needs over 4,000 individuals who would work on the fields. With
Britons not really that keen on doing hard labor and moving to a new part of
the country for work, the best way to get the work done would be to get help
from immigrants. Fruit farms and vegetable farms are producing the goods. The
only problem is that there is not enough people to do the work of harvesting
the produce.

The
story of the fields in 2017

According to the news, thousands of people
were needed in the fields last year, 2017. Because of the lack of immigrant
workers working the fields, there were a number of fields with fruits and
vegetables growing on them that were left to rot. There were not enough people
to harvest and do the work on the produce. The owners of the field and the
farmers had to take a big hit on their losses and that is definitely not something
good to experience.

The number of vacant positions for working
in the fields came up to over 4,300. The year ended with this number still not
completed. The data is from a survey that was done by the National Farmers
Union (which is also known as the NFU). That number of vacant positions for
farms and fields actually is about a half of the market for horticulture.

Most of the workers were actually
immigrants and they were from the eastern part of Europe, as per the data. Only
0.6% of the field workers had come from the United Kingdom. This definitely
reflects just how much the country needs immigrant workers for this very
important job.

Filling
the gap

The gap needs to be filled but with the
upcoming exit of the UK from the European Union, that gap may continue to
present itself. The government needs to look into this need and work on its
immigration programs to get the help that horticulture in the country needs.

moved to the United Kingdom successfully with the help of Global Visa Support

Immigrants are going to have a huge amount
of opportunities to choose from this 2018 as a recent study has disclosed just
what occupations in Canada are going to be in demand this year. Both locals and
immigrants can have a go at applying for these in demand occupations should the
opportunity arise for them. Locals may not be willing to move to another place
in the country if the job calls for such so immigrants may have a better chance
of getting such opportunities as they are more willing to move to another place
if needed.

As per the recent study, those who have
coding skills are going to be quite in demand for the year. This is not
surprising as the country is home to quite a huge number of IT companies. These
companies in Canada are looking for individuals who can code and who can work
their way around codes who would be under their employ. This new study has
shared detailed information on what occupations would be highly in demand.

Aside from individuals who are well-versed
in coding, the study has also disclosed that other professions that would be
needed include business analysts, software engineers, as well as project
managers for IT. It can be seen that these are all related to technology and computers.
This simply reflects just how the country has become home to IT and computer
companies and so the need for such individuals to help them out.

This study is actually done yearly by
Randstad Canada, a company that focuses on human resources. For this year, the
study has reflected that business analysts would be in demand and the ranked
list of professions has put such analysts in the fifth spot. The seventh spot
was for project managers for IT. Found on the ninth place was software
engineers.

According to Randstad Canada, the study
that they did was based on jobs that were needed, openings, placements, and
other employment data. They took the data from a variety of markets in the
country. With the data, they put them together and analyzed them.

The
top 10 occupations

Looking at the study, one would be able to
find the top ten occupations that would be highly in demand for this year. The
list has shown general laborers to be in the top spot. It is closely followed
by sales representatives. In 3rd place are accountants, followed by engineering
project managers. On the sixth place are business analysts. The 7th spot
belongs to customer service representatives. IT project managers take 8th. The
9th and 10th places are for software engineers and forklift operators,
respectively.

In April of 2015, a big earthquake shook
Nepal. This was known and reported as Gorkha earthquake. It was quite
devastating as it took the lives of almost 9,000 individuals. Aside from those,
there were around 22,000 who got injured because of it. The Gorkha earthquake
was measured to be at a magnitude of 7.8.

Because of this, plenty of people were left
homeless. Some had to resort to fleeing their country because they believed
that it was unsafe to live there anymore. One of the countries where these
refugees fled to was New Zealand. And New Zealand, being a nation that was
built by immigrants, was more than happy to share their land with these
homeless people.

Recently, the country has granted Nepalese
refugees who found haven in New Zealand residency. This is definitely good news
as it means that these individuals do not have to fear about being sent back to
their own country. Plus, with a residency, they can fully appreciate and enjoy
the benefits that come with it.

The
story of a couple refugee

Two of those who made their way to New Zealand were a couple. Recently, they were given residency status and thus this
means that they continue living in New Zealand and this was all because of the
post traumatic stress disorder (which is also known as PTSD) that they have
gotten because of what they had to go through during the earthquake in Nepal
back in 2015. PTSD is not a simple matter and it can be a part of the lives of
individuals for many years.

The couple who found a new home in New
Zealand had to leave their country. They were already retired and they did not
have place to call home in Nepal as the earthquake destroyed that. The
earthquake also gave them trauma. They continued to suffer from chronic pain.
These were not really good things to have and so New Zealand decided that they
could stay in the country for as long as they wanted.

Residency
granted

The couple had tried to get a refugee
status previously. However, they were denied that. The good side though is that
they were given residency status as a part the country’s humanitarian reasons.

The couple definitely is in good hands now
that they are in New Zealand. Being new to the country is not going to be quite
a big deal as most of the people there have come from other countries as well.
Immigrants are all over the country and so they know how it feels to be in a
new country. There are support communities that assist newcomers to the
country. This is how immigrants are able to adapt to New Zealand.

Looking for a new country to live in is the
top priority for a lot of potential immigrants. The reasons for wanting to
leave their home country are different and varied. It can be a reason of
economy. It can be a reason of safety. It can simply be a reason that comes
with one’s whim and wish to just live in a new place. But whatever the reason,
the United Kingdom is definitely one of the top countries in the world that
potential immigrants are eyeing to move to. That is not surprising and here are
threereasons why.

The
UK is home to the most popular royal family in the world.

For those who have dreamt about being a
princess or be a part of the royal family, the United Kingdom definitely is
allowing them a chance to get a look at the castle where the family lives. This
is because the country is where the most famous royal family in the world
lives. Yes, for those who would like to see the place where Queen Elizabeth,
Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Catherine, Prince
George, and Princess Charlotte spends most of their time, this is the right
country to go to. Though it would not make them a part of the royal family,
immigrants can simply dream and wonder about how it would be like to be part of
that family and rule the nation that they are living in.

The chance to be able to get a photo of one
of the members of the royal family are definitely higher for people who are in
the UK and so this is definitely one good place to be in.

Love
bikes? There is a public rental system for bikes here.

Individuals who have a knack for pedaling
and cycling around a place can definitely have a grand time living in the
United Kingdom as immigrants. The country has a public bicycle rental system
that allows individuals to rent a bike and go from one place to another. It
helps beat traffic and also gives people that much needed exercise that riding
in a car would not give. There are more than 700 stations for these public
bikes so there is no need to bring them back to where it was first rented.
Bikes definitely are a good way to get around.

Living
with different nationalities.

For some people, learning about a new
culture is definitely a perk. Of course, this is definitely good as people get
to explore the world through other people. With the UK being one of the top
countries for immigrants, one can definitely expect quite a big variety of
people and nationalities here. Being friends with people from other nations can
help individuals get a peek of one’s culture and also get to learn more about
their countries, their habits, and their lifestyle.

Canada has been given the recognition and
accolade of being known as one of the top countries in the world that has
well-educated residents. This is not quite a surprise as the country is home to
some of the best universities and colleges that are quite known from all around
the globe. It is the home of the University of British Columbia, McGill
University, University of Toronto, and the University of Alberta among many
others. Many individuals go to the country as immigrant students just to be
able to get world-class education.

Recent studies have it that this
recognition of Canada as one of the best countries that have well-educated
residents can be credited to the immigrants who have made their way to the
country. Numbers have it that 36 per cent of children that are born of
immigrants are actually quite accomplished educationally that they hold degrees
from universities. This is definitely higher if compared to the 24 per cent of
children who have parents that are born in Canada. This reflects that many
immigrants are pushing their children to be accomplished educationally and
inspiring them to learn more and get more education that is available in the
country.

The
thought behind the phenomenon

A good number of immigrants to Canada
actually already hold degrees from a university. They also come with the
thought and the principle that their children should also have the same. They
make sure that their children achieve well in academics. Because of this, these
immigrants are encouraging and pushing their children to take the road to
getting higher education. This thinking and principle of immigrants have become
a huge factor in Canada for it to become one of the world’s countries with
really educated residents. This has been what an analysis from a government
branch in the country has been able to get from a study that they did.

The Immigration Department of the country
has sent out a report which has been put together using data from the
statistics department. The report has shown that 35 per cent of the children
that have immigrant parents hold university degrees. These are those
individuals who were 25 years old to 35 years old.

The
countries these immigrants came from

Canada has been home to immigrants who come
from different countries around the globe. The top countries that bring
immigrants to Canada include China, India, and the Philippines. The study has
shown that over half of the children of immigrants who have hailed from China
or India actually finished their degrees from a university in the country. A
third of the children who have immigrant parents from the Philippines hold
university degrees. This reflects that individuals from these three countries
instill in their children the importance of education and higher education.

New Zealand is known as immigrant haven.
Many individuals want to move to New Zealand and be an immigrant there. For
those who are not able to fulfill all the requirements to become an immigrant
in the country, their next goal would be to be able to work in the country at
the very least. Recent numbers show that there are plenty of individuals from
the United Kingdom and the Philippines who have been applying and working on
getting work visas from the country.

Statistics New Zealand has also shown that
a significant number of immigrants to the country have now decided to leave the
country. This is as per the data that the office was able to compile for last
year, 2017. As per the data, the net immigration numbers show that this is
around 2 per cent in increase as compared to the number back a year previously,
2016. Of course, this is definitely not a really huge number that would really
affect the country in the long run. Despite this, there are still more and more
interested individuals working on being immigrants to New Zealand so the number
of people leaving is really replaced easily by the new immigrants coming in.

The
data and what it says

Peter Dolan works as the manager for
population statistics for the country’s Statistics New Zealand. Recently, he
has stated that this movement in immigrants leaving the country is known as a
cooling effect. This cooling move that has happened a year before actually is a
result of what he has described as the increase of the individuals leaving NewZealand essentially after they have joined the country as immigrants before.

Craig Ebert works as a senior economist for
the Bank of New Zealand. On this phenomenon, he has stated that the rates are
actually small and not really that significant to have a great effect in the
country. Despite the number having a slight increase for last year, the overall
total of immigration numbers are still quite high and that is helping alleviate
the number of individuals who have left. There is really no big change that
should happen in the near future as the numbers that have left are easily
replaced by those who are coming in.

Individuals
who are looking for work visas

As per the data from Statistics New
Zealand, there are more and more individuals from the United Kingdom who have entered
the country to get work. Aside from the UK, there are also more and more
Filipinos who are looking to get work visas to be able to move to the country
and work there as well. The data on individuals who have gotten work visas,
there is an increase of 11 per cent when it comes to the number of individuals
who have arrived in the country holding work visas with them. The huge amount
of growth in this category has been thanks to those who hailed from the
Philippines and the UK.

Theresa May, the Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom, has softened up a bit on her stance regarding immigrant
students to the country. International immigrant students have now been
classified as individuals who really do not bring about any long-term effects
on the numbers of immigration. This is what the prime minister has recently
admitted. For the past months, she has been adamant that they do. Now, she has
changed her tone and has finally admitted that these individuals really do not
have such effects on the immigration numbers of the country.

Back when Theresa May was still working as
Home Secretary of the United Kingdom, she had been more than happy to share
that international students in Britain have such a big effect in the long term
to the country. She has been quite tough on this and believes strongly about
it. She had brought this thought with her even as she had become the country’s
Prime Minister. She also had been making sure that all immigrant students went
through the hole of the needle because she believed that these individuals were
coming to the country in the guise of studying when they were really going to
find work in the country.

The
change in her position on immigrant students

May had been recently interviewed in China
and she had explained her change of position on the issue. She had disclosed
that there were random colleges and educational institutions in the country
that were taking in international students. They were also offering fake
courses. May continued that these institutions have now been closed and are now
no longer operating. That is why she now believes that international students
really do not have significant effects in the long term on the number of
immigration in the country.

She continued to share in the interview
that it is essential to go back at what was happening in the UK and with the
international students during the time that she was serving as the home
secretary of Britain. She said that those colleges and educational institutions
had paved the way for her claim. However, since these have been closed now, so
have her views on the issue at hand. Most of these unscrupulous institutions
were bringing in international students but they were mostly to get them to
work and not really for studies.

The
ONS shares its study

The country’s Office for National
Statistics had done a study and it had looked into the data of exits in the
past year. Even though there were students who have stayed more than what was
indicated on their visas, these individuals really did not bring any
significant issues that would stay in the country for a long period.

Found in the northern part of Europe,
Scandinavia is actually a region. The countries that are part of
Scandinavia include Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. It may sometimes also mean
those countries that are a part of the Scandinavian Peninsula so that should
also include two more countries and these are Iceland and Finland.

These countries are really nice countries
and have been the destination for many individuals. It is definitely quite
interesting to take a trip to those places and get to know just what they have
to offer. Getting in and out of these Scandinavian countries is actually easy
as they are really close to each other.

Recently, the region has been more than
happy to share that they have become inspired by how Canada makes immigration
work. It is not just about how to make immigrants happy and successful in their
new country but also with regards to all the policies that go with immigration
to Canada.

The world has become quite popular to the
whole world recently. It has even been known as Scandimania, as the increasing
number of people is really getting quite interested in the region. With more
and more individuals finding their way to this corner of the world as tourists,
there is definitely an even bigger chance that these people will find the
region to be quite interesting and worth living in. With that, it is quite
interesting to understand that the number of immigrants should also go up.

With more and more finding Scandinavia to
be quite interesting to be immigrants in, the countries must also be ready for
what could happen. Immigration policies should be polished to make sure that
the whole process becomes easy and fast for those who are involved in the whole
transaction. With Canada having one of the best immigration policies and
programs in the world, Scandinavia has set their eyes on it and might possibly
be borrowing what Canada has already put in place. Canada’s immigration
policies have definitely served as quite an inspiration and that is thanks to
just how well they have made things work.

The
Scandinavia immigration situation

Other countries have also been looking at
Scandinavia because of the really strong growth of their economies. There is
also social equity which is unlike other parts of the world. And so, people are
also becoming interested in the place, especially for those who are looking for
a new country to be an immigrant in. That is why it is not surprising that many
have shown interest in moving here. With Canada having really good immigration
policies and a smoothed out process, Scandinavia definitely has set their eyes
on Canada and how it runs immigration on its soil.

There is quite a remarkable increase in the
number of residents from the United States as well as from the United Kingdom
that have become immigrants in New Zealand as of recent. This is as per
immigration numbers from the official branch of the NZ government that deals
with such. Studying the numbers and the trend, the influx of British and
American immigrants has been primarily because of two major events that have
happened in their home countries. For the Americans, it is because of the
election of Donald Trump into the presidency of the country. And for the
Britons, it is because of the country’s vote to exit the European Union.

It is quite safe to say that though the
majority votes in both countries have helped pave the way for such big changes,
there are still a huge number of residents who do not really agree to the
majority vote. This is why those who are not happy with the major events have
decided that it is best to move out of their country and be an immigrant. With
New Zealand being quite a popular immigration destination, this country has now
become the home of those looking for a new country to grow roots in.

The
numbers and what they say

As per the data from Statistics New
Zealand, the net number of residents of the United States has gone up by 65 per
cent for the year 2017. This number includes a net gain that amount to 2,127
and these are the immigrants that are permanent and staying in the country for
long term. The increase in the number of immigrants from this country has gone
up after the election of a new president back in November of 2016. Those who
were not happy with the results have decided to make a move and become
immigrants in New Zealand.

As for the UK immigrants, the net number
for 2017 has totaled to 6,371. This is definitely bigger to the number two
years earlier. In 2015, the net immigration number for UK residents was only
3,614. This is a significant year as it was a year before the actual referendum
on the European Union membership has come about, and this referendum has
happened in June of 2016.

These numbers are actually official data
and they have just been released recently by Statistics New Zealand.

More
information from the numbers

The numbers discussed earlier are actually
on the basis of the skilled immigrants who have come to the country. Taking the
whole total of immigrants from the two countries for last year, there were
around 20,000 individuals who have made their way to NZ. Economists believe
that one of the top reasons for immigrants choosing NZ is because this country
has a really strong economy and growth is continuing to rise.

For all of those individuals who are
thinking about moving to a new country and do not really know just where to go,
this article should be able to guide them. The United Kingdom is one of the
best immigration destinations in the world for years and it sure does not seem
to change in terms of its popularity for potential immigrants. This is
primarily because the UK has had a really long history of immigration and that
is definitely not going to stop anytime soon.

So what are some of the reasons why the United Kingdom has become really popular for potential immigrants? Here are some.

It
is a place for fashionistas.

Individuals who are really into fashion and
love everything about it, then the United Kingdom should keep them pretty
happy. Immigrants in the country definitely enjoy the fashion industry here.
This is because the country is home to top fashion designers in the world as
well as events. There is the London Fashion Week and then there are really
high-end fashion shops all about the country. For those who are into vintage,
people can find a lot of shops that sell such in the UK, too.

It
is a spot for world renowned sites.

People who are really into sites and spots
that are famous around the world, the United Kingdom definitely is a good place
to move to. There is a reason why the country receives millions of visitors
each year. In 2012, the country’s capital has had 16.9 million individuals
visiting. That is for the capital only and so it should mean more for the whole
country. So immigrants who would be more than happy to say that they live in a
place where famous sites are can definitely find the UK to be quite a good
place for immigration. It is home to the Buckingham Palace and the Tower of
London. It is also the place to find the London Bridge as well as beautiful
countryside spots that are hard to ignore.

It
is a place for pubs (and other liquor stops).

For those people who love getting drunk or
simply love trying liquor of different sorts, being an immigrant in the UK
definitely should make them happy. People in the country love to drink,
especially after working hard the whole day. Getting some relaxation through
some bottles of beer or shots of liquor is quite popular. That is why, in the
capital of the country alone, one can definitely find over 7,000 pubs. So there
is a lot more for the whole country. Immigrants can definitely unwind in one of
these places and maybe even meet new people who can become their new friends in
Britain.

Canada has special programs made especially
for certain places that really need immigrants. These programs are actually
dependent on the kind of need that the place needs. Some just need immigrants
because there are a lot less residents there. For others, it is a case of not
having enough workers. These streams are made by the government so as to help
out these certain places in the country.

For the Canadian province of Ontario, there is a
program which is known as the Human Capital Priorities Stream. This one has
recently sent out 380 invitations that have been given to individuals for them
to apply. The applications would be for them to be a part of the candidates
included in the pool for Express Entry which is run by the federal government
of the country. This program would bring the necessary immigrants to the
country as long as they are able to fulfill the needed requirements that the
country is asking for.

The
search for the candidates who are eligible

This week has gotten two new announcements
right from the Human Capital Priorities Stream. These announcements came in the
form of Notifications of Interests, which are also known as NOIs. With these,
it has been stated that the province of Ontario is searching the pool in the
Express Entry system for all of the candidates for immigration who are eligible
and who just fit what the province needs. By finding the right candidates for
immigration to Canada that are available in the Express Entry system, their need for the immigrants
that they are looking for can be fulfilled.

All of the candidates who get an NOI will
have the option of applying for a nomination in the province of Ontario. Once
an immigration candidate is successful, they will then be able to receive 600
more points in their score in the Comprehensive Ranking System, which is known
as the CRS. This is very important as they are nearer to being able to apply
for a permanent residency status in the country.

The
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program

The province’s stream is known as the
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (and it is also known as the OINP). According
to the official statement from the people behind the program, the NOIs that
were sent out were directed to immigrant candidates who already had scores in
the CRS that were from 433 to 444. These individuals were the ones who already
submitted the needed profile to the Express Entry system from the 1st of
January this year up until the 25th of the same month.

To become an eligible candidate for the
Human Capital Priorities Stream of Ontario, the candidates should have at least
400 points for their score in the CRS. There are other criteria and
requirements that the candidates must be able to have and submit.
